Gu Tingjun glared coldly at Du Muchen and the others.
"Since you've already spoken, I'll just let these kids off the hook."
"Second Master Gu, you know better than any of us who kidnapped Old Master Gu," Ji Cong'an sneered.
All the evidence points to Gu Tingjun as the murderer who kidnapped Old Master Gu.
However, this time when they searched his villa, they couldn't find Old Master Gu. Now, without any evidence, they can only watch helplessly as Gu Tingjun goes unpunished.
This old fox may not have any other skills, but his ability to hide people is exceptional.
Ye Yuzhen walked in, angrily accusing, "I'm warning you, the second branch of the Gu family isn't easy to bully. Do you think Sixth Grandma will believe you just because you've pinned a crime on us? My husband and I passed away early, and my husband and I have always treated Sixth Grandpa and Sixth Grandma as our own grandparents. Anyone could be the murderer who kidnapped Sixth Grandpa, but my husband and I have always been upright and honest. I, Ye Yuzhen, can swear to God that we would never do such an ungrateful thing."
Xie Siming curled his lips and gave a light snort.
"To clear their name, they'll swear any oath they can. Be careful, they might get their comeuppance."
"you……"
Ye Yuzhen's face turned red with anger, but she felt a little panicked because of Xie Siming's words.
She knew that explaining anything now would be pointless, so she simply adopted the attitude of a woman throwing a tantrum.
"Sixth Grandmother, look at what they're saying! Over the years, Tingjun and I have worked diligently and dutifully, never showing off or boasting in front of outsiders. How come we are being ridiculed and insulted like this?"
Madam Gu frowned slightly, her expression somewhat somber.
“Everyone is worried about Old Master Gu. Let’s all calm down first. Our priority now is to find Old Master Gu as soon as possible. Tingjun just came to me and said that someone delivered a letter to him. After seeing the contents of the letter, he didn’t dare to delay and immediately brought it to me.”
Old Madam Gu took out the letter and handed it to Du Muchen to read.
"Xiao Chen, you recognize your great-uncle's handwriting, come and take a look."
Du Muchen opened the envelope. Inside was a letter written in pen, its strokes elegant and flowing, displaying a distinctive personal style.
Upon seeing the handwriting, Du Muchen was basically certain that the letter was indeed written by Elder Gu.
However, the content above is quite puzzling.
"What does Uncle mean by this? Are you handing over the Gu family seal?"
The handwriting is genuine, but the content is unbelievable.
The Gu family seal is a symbol of the Gu family head's control over the family, and it has been passed down for countless generations.
This seal is like a country's imperial seal. Without it, even if you become the head of the Gu family, it will be difficult to gain the trust and respect of all the members of such a large family.
The letter mainly mentioned two points.
First, they proposed to hand over the seal.
Second, hand the seal to Gu Tingjun and have him deliver it to the address specified by the other party.
Du Muchen glanced at Madam Gu and thought to himself, "Such an intelligent person as Madam Gu must have already suspected something when she saw the contents of Old Master Gu's letter. Why is she so calm now? Could it be that she has another plan in mind?"
"The letter did not include an address."
Gu Tingjun said, "They said they would contact me."
"With so many people in the Gu family, why did they choose Gu Tingjun in particular?" Du Muchen asked Gu Tingjun, feigning curiosity.
Gu Tingjun and Ye Yuzhen had already prepared their explanations.
Gu Tingjun snorted coldly: "Just as you said, the other party is likely to know the inside story of the Gu family very well. Perhaps they know that our second branch and the sixth branch have the closest ties. Of course, such an important thing as the seal cannot be handed over to someone who is not trustworthy."
Ye Yuzhen hurriedly spoke up, "If we really did it, would we be foolish enough to take on such a suspicious task? Who wants to be suspected? Sixth Grandma, I think some people are up to no good and are crying wolf."
Ye Yuzhen's words implied that Du Muchen was also a suspect.
Madam Gu pondered for a long time.
"Since it is Elder Gu's wish to hand over the seal, I will follow his decision."
Gu Tingjun asked, "Sixth Grandmother, the Gu family seal has always been kept by the head of the Gu family. Now that Sixth Grandfather is not here, do you know where the seal is hidden?"
Madam Gu gave a soft snort.
“We are husband and wife, and we have trusted each other for decades. He would not hide this from me. Second son, since the other party has asked you to be the middleman, I will take out the seal and give it to you to contact the other party. Nothing else matters. I just want Old Master Gu to come back safe and sound. Otherwise, tell those people that even without the support of the Gu family, the Ye family of Nan Guang is not easy to bully.”
The old lady spoke these words with a firm and authoritative tone.
Gu Tingjun didn't even dare to look the old lady in the eye, and nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, I will definitely convey your words to you without missing a single one."

After Gu Jueye and Bai Qianmo returned to the research institute.
Bai Qianmo turned around and gave the man a bear hug, tightly embracing his waist.
The man's body stiffened slightly, and a ripple appeared in his calm and composed gaze.
"What's wrong?"
"Lisa said today that I dated a man during my year in Beijing. I heard he's very rich, and I think I'm in love with him?"
Gu Jueye lowered his eyes, his gaze fixed intently on the girl who was looking up at him with her head slightly raised.
Her gaze was as bright as the stars, vast and boundless, always easily drawing his thoughts into her eyes, making him only willing to unconditionally pamper and protect her, not wanting her to suffer even the slightest harm.
Bai Qianmo felt a sudden tightness in her heart when she saw her fifth brother suddenly fall silent.
Fifth Brother never lied to her. If it was something he could tell her, he would answer her without hesitation if she asked.
But his hesitation at this moment caused her anxious heart to plummet to the bottom.
If she really did have a relationship with another man, and they were deeply in love with each other, how will she face Fifth Brother and that person now that she has lost that memory?
"Fifth Brother, I'm sorry. I didn't know I would do such a thing. It's hard to imagine that I could fall in love with another man besides you."
She could never believe that she could fall in love with someone else. She thought there would never be another person in the world who would love and cherish her like he did, and there would never be another man who would want her to stay with him forever.
Even though life was ordinary, she felt it was infinitely wonderful.
Seeing the girl's youthful and beautiful face filled with self-reproach, the man smiled gently, his strong arm lightly stroking her face, his thumb tracing her unadorned, still delicate and snow-white skin.
"Silly girl, from beginning to end there has been no one else but you and me. No one in this world can separate us."
What we experience is more than just life and death; it also involves crossing time and space.
I followed you away, and I followed you back.
